Methods and systems for providing a user with control over
telecommunications services provided by a service provider. Using almost
any type of communications device, a user may gain access to, view, and
make changes or modifications to profile information related to the
services. The changes may be made quickly and efficiently, but accuracy
and thoroughness in the implementation of the changes are not sacrificed.
Further, the changes to the communications services are implemented
almost immediately and without involvement by the service
provider.Particularly, profile information about the telecommunications
service is stored on a server in a data network. A change action relating
to the profile information may be received at the server from a data
device (such as a wireless unit) operating on the network. The change
action is implemented on the profile information to result in changed
profile information, which may be provided from the server via the data
network to the telecommunications system.
